edit: Particle - thanks for the correction on year - fixed it.

Good to see that bike when to someone stoked for it. Yeti doesn't get much love here in North Van.

New bike, time to post up:









Took it out for the first time on the land around my house Tuesday, 10 minutes later I put a 16 penny nail through the tire

Tube has been repaired and bike is ready for a good thrashing. Hoping to ride tomorrow or Thurs.

My recent summer obsession...

This looks scary as hell. Exposure anyone?

I am the proud owner of a new-old Titanium road bike I got off ebay yesternday. It cost considerably less than the custom Serotta I was dreaming of. I'll wait off and get that one when I discover the pot of gold @ the end of the rainbow some day.

Summarily, I am stoked to ride this thing all summer long!

It's an all-Ti frame (by Clark Kent in CO...no, not superman ). It has Dura Ace 7700 9 speed group, hand built wheels with DT double butted spokes and Mavic rims, carbon fiber time equipe fork.

Sprite,

It looks way hotter blown up! So sexy!

^^^YES! Sprite get's it! Unless you're going totally custom, buy used.

Bikes are like dogs, there are sooooo many great ones waiting for a second chance.

Hey, maybe I should name him Rover...because he's going to be all over the place!

Sprite

It's a him?

Oh, and, BTW, don't be surprised if you find yourself looking into a different saddle. That SLR in the picture is uber light, but some folks don't find it very comfortable.

Happy riding!

Dude, if Sprite "got it", she would have 'got' this (not one of those):

Doesn't matter what she got so long as it was used (and not abused).

F'in solid.

The newest addition to my stable, replacing my trusty Foes FXR.

Cannondale Prophet MX2. Upgraded with XT crankset/BB, Gravity Dropper post, and Heim 3 Guide. I'll swap out the saddle in a couple weeks, that's my DH saddle.

Nate, that's a sweet bike! But I needed a rooooaaadd bike. I'll take one of those too though! What is it? I cannot tell what the writing says.

Keep your eyes on it... Unless someone has revived the name and is building new, some of the Clark Kent frames of old were very notorious for cracking. Badly so.

Otherwise, nice score! Very hot looking bike!

felt nine pro (29er), went back to a hardtail and loving it - had a trek fuel project one and santa cruz superlight before that; broke driveside chainstay on each, reps said may have been because of the stiffness i ran the rear shock plus the amount of saddle height i had may have caused some extra stress.
switched out shimano drivetrain for sram with gripshift; also switched out avid hydraulics for avid mechanical bb7's......pic so new from the shop that reflectors were still on the bike.

Just f'n with ya... I like your new rig, but Im not much of a road aficionado. I like dirt.

Its a Santa Cruz V10. Hot soup!!

That would suck, but I'm hoping my light weight will offset any cracking possibility. I can be rather clumsy though...and this will be an added incentive not to crash!
